Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

Morning Marathons
Surf the waves until the waters settle
Don't blow your top like a steaming kettle
Life'll beat you up and keep you on trial
Judge and jury incarcerating your smile
Traveling for miles on roads of tribulations
Starts erecting dark thoughts full of ideations
Depression's a beast bearing a pitch fork & horns
Genetically afflicting some entities when their born
Worn like scarlet letters that folks'll never be able to see
Branded onto psyches like we've joined Greek fraternities
Stepping on happy emotions like it's dancing to...

road to los feliz
i can hear the roll-up door at the back of the truck
bouncing up and down
people are honking
i forgot to latch it shut again
i don't care
i hate this job
i'm wondering
if a .380 against my temple would kill me
or just hurt like hell
there's a homeless guy on the corner
beating a lamppost with a tent pole
and with an expression
somewhere between mental illness
and happiness
maybe it's both
could i be that happy?
i deal with my loneliness
by stalking a lady on the...

New start
I can feel winter blowing in
Bringing its frigid cold and blanket snow
To drift up and around my heart
I've weathered this bleakness before
With flaming fire and starved desire
Until spring arose from the dark
But somethings different this time around
I feel it in my broken will and poison pills
Heaven doesn't seem quite so far
The thought brings a relinquished relief
Tired of clinging to the past and hoping for happiness
This soul is ready for a new start
Bringing its frigid cold and blanket snow
To drift up and around my heart
I've weathered this bleakness before
With flaming fire and starved desire
Until spring arose from the dark
But somethings different this time around
I feel it in my broken will and poison pills
Heaven doesn't seem quite so far
The thought brings a relinquished relief
Tired of clinging to the past and hoping for happiness
This soul is ready for a new start

So far out, But still together
I reached my hands out,
As my entire world seemed to spin around me,
I didn't comprehend what was happening,
This was all so sudden,
Why didn't I get a warning?
Something could have prevailed,
But again why nothing?
My breaths are so heavy,
I feel tied down to the floor,
My eyes are running like water
And burning like hell,
I sound so silent,
But my thoughts are so loud,
What is happening
I'm now looking at that hole in the ground,
I'm watching as you're being lowered,
But in a way I know I'm in...

Leaving Las Vegas
Its times like this, that I remember you ..
Like the time I finally figured out what the hell
You were talking about when you said I was
you're Elizabeth Shue.
Everything has become tangled, trashed, and
mangled.
Our love has been choked up, snuffed out
and strangled.
These emotions have become some what
Of a danger... a little evil anger From a familiar stranger .
The memories play on repeat, again and
again
Songs of our distant laughter
Are now deafening echos of a love long lost
in my head
Snatched away from me, ...

Up and then down
Up and then down
The need for new the want for nothing.
The world is my oyster the darkness keeping me shelled.
My bed always calling, although I’m electric.
I wish it was as easy as one or the other, or neither and either.
But we’re rarely given the choice with mental health so we live and push forward.
Despite.

Leaking Breath
I trace with this dulled edge
A gaping mouth
That bleeds with every breath
Suffocated by its self saving attempts
Scabs overbear gurgled screams
I plead to finish seeping out
For the wrong reasons
Isn't it obvious I didn’t press hard enough?
A gaping mouth
That bleeds with every breath

Scabs overbear gurgled screams
I plead to finish seeping out

Hampster on a wheel
Everyday just like the others
Chasing my tail in an unending circle
Worn out and exhausted
Panic always lurking
A race against myself
A race that I can't win
A race that never started
A race that never ends
Always been a little OCD
But this is ridiculous
Paranoid behavior
Always suspicious
Run round, round
Into the ground, ground
Mind's not sound, sound
Going down,down
Into the ground
Gotta take control
Cause if I don't learn to deal
I'll spend my life
As...

Hanging on by a thread
They see it in your eyes
Window to your mind
Are you gonna make it
Will you be fine
Slave to your fears
Thoughts racing and you can't keep up
Out of breath, can't move
Looks like your stuck
I'm not oblivious
But what can I do
I'm trying to keep myself together
But I'm running out of glue
I know it's wrong to wonder
If I'd feel better dead
But I'm lost out here in oblivion
Hanging on by a thread
Window to your mind
Are you gonna make it
Will you be fine
Slave to your fears
Thoughts racing and you can't keep up
Out of breath, can't move
Looks like your stuck
I'm not oblivious
But what can I do
I'm trying to keep myself together
But I'm running out of glue
I know it's wrong to wonder
If I'd feel better dead
But I'm lost out here in oblivion
Hanging on by a thread

Dearth Sustenance
Crippled, pickled, plumbed and dumb, string me out for another year
It’s wet again, I’m wet again, why can’t I find the focus of yore?
Have you tried?
Yes I’ve tried
Have you failed?
Yes I’ve failed
And what has it made you into?
A forgotten dream from far away, a slow locomotive chugging onwards to the end of the fucking track
I’ll find my perspective the only perspective, and the view will be gloriously sad I’m sure
Impetus denied, even though I’ve strived through my own complex emotions
I’m...
